An i investigation has uncovered plans to close or downscale more than 50 hospitals and NHS services across England, as the NHS faces its biggest shake up in a generation to plug a £22bn black hole in funding

A similar investigation by the BBC this week found that services in nearly two-thirds of England could be cut or scaled back to make efficiency savings.
